– Mobility and transferring assistance, for instance, moving in and out of bed or on and off the toilet, to ensure safety and ease of movement
– Application of splints and basic first aid for injuries sustained due to a participant’s disability, ensuring prompt care and injury management

Personal care supports are tailored to meet the unique needs of participants across a variety of settings. These settings may include the participant’s home, whether they live alone, with family, or with others. Additionally, personal care supports extend to social, recreational, educational, and employment activities, as well as holidays away from home, ensuring comprehensive support wherever the participant may be.
